Indian Xpress

A small place, décor was ok the service could improve just a tad bit better. The lamb tiki masala was good but I asked for spicy and it came out mild, they ran out of the samosas so had the fried veggies instead which was ok and the garlic naan was nice and fresh !

Ordered takeout there for the first time today. The chicken tikka marsala and porri were terrific! The takeout food was also labeled and beautifully packaged with plastic containers and foil. Will definitely visit again!

I ordered take out from here a few weeks ago.
Ordered 3 items. The starter was samosa chaat and it was pretty good.
The other two were entrees. First, the shrimp Tika masala was ok, a little bland and too much sauce and not much shrimp
The last was the ginger chicken kabab. Not sure which part of it was ginger. First there was a ton of water in the container, the same container, right alongside the salad. The water was just that, weird cloudy water. So I drained it out and then took out the chicken. Started to eat it and I realized the chicken had no taste. There was not even a hint of ginger let alone the look of it being on the grill. Somehow it looked like boiled chicken prices that had some yogurt thrown on them and then stuffed next to a salad. I still haven’t figured out what the water was but I don’t plan to ever get food from there again. Pretty disappointed in such a simple order completely bungled.

i am a HUGE fan of indian food and was pretty psyched to try this place out especially getting a good groupon deal. so ill try to be brief as much as possible.
cons:
1. difficult to find parking.
2 (just to be sure), i always ask about the groupon deal. Lady was clueless about it.
3. was very thirsty and it would have been nice if the fancy water glasses were filled upon arrival, never was… need i ask?
4. asked waitress about particular items and she always had to go into kitchen to find out details. by the time we got to 3^rd question, i opted to google for my answer.
5. when we were nearing to decide on our order and asked her what came with that particular order, she said oh «were not serving any of those items thats on that part of the menu». (WHYYYY is it on the menu? so that your customers can set their heart on something then… :sigh:
*by now we were hoping to be picking on some naan bread which is always served moments upon arrival almost same time as water being poured into glasses.
6. music went on (indian ofcourse, i think which is fine… when in rome. but speakers were right above our head and it sounded busted, this is a little petty but just saying.
7. lastly, when we informed waitress that we were ready to order, she said «ok.» and as minutesssss passed, we kept wondering why she kept CONTINUING to answer calls (i guess take outs). and btw, my friend and i were the ONLY ONES in the resto! i understand there was only one worker to cater to us AND answer phones but someone should have stepped up… and this was dinner… after a long day at work.
so, we just got up without a word and left.
Pros:
smelt like indian food and i was intrigued and anticipated for their food to be… good.
I hope i can get a refund, other wise. Oh Well.

2 stars means «i have had better» The restaurant was pretty with muted brown and beige colors like a fall motif and SOME of the food was outstanding just outstanding. We had the vegetable samosa which were so delicious the chicken curry had tomatoes which I don’t like tomatoes in my curry. curry should not have tomatoes I think so that was OK but that was the only entrée we ordered. the dessert was fantastic the rice pudding was wonderful and heavenly sweet and hints of exotic spices so heavenly. good place but the best i ever tasted is the indian place with silver sparkles on new dorp lane near Hylan blvd Wow that place is the best

Food was decent, nothing over the top. However, one can tell they are putting some effort into the dishes. First time that we had naans that were fluffy and piping hot.
I would visit again.
Kinda pricy –1 star.

Best Indian place on the island. Restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, and the food was great. I had the chicken tikka masala which was tasty and filling, would recommend.

After the restaurant renovation interior is small but modern and very cute. Indian food is very good, fresh. Service is very nice and owner is accommodating.

This place serves fake indian food that tastes like garbage. They also use frozen vegetables in a variety of their dishes, which is ridiculous considering they have a large vegetarian menu. I would expect this from an ethnic restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but not from a place in such close proximity to the city. You’re better off trying taste of india on new dorp lane or dosa garden on victory blvd. Both places have great dishes, but have totally different ambiences.

Decided to get lunch today thought I would give Indian Express another try and I’m glad I did.
I thought it best I avoid the whole delivery debacle and called in an order to pick up.
It was ready when they said it would be. All in all, a better option although I may lash out and try delivery again if I get lazy.
Gobi honey garlic again. It’s so good I should just get a vat of it and call it a day.
Saag paneer was OK. A bit tame. It seems to be overly Americanized, but it wasn’t horrible.
Small slices of fresh tomato added an interesting flavor and texture.
Alu Gobi was tasty and had a bit more bite to it.
I’d order any of the above again.
I can sense the chef is better than the menu choices but it’s Staten Island. Not exactly the home of haute cusine and I’m sure one has to appeal to the local customers.
They included a wee salad — nice touch.
Two portions of rice and a small creamy rice pudding which was marked «complimentary», which was really, really good.
Packaging was perfect and the hot dishes all had foil wrap. It was obvious some care was taken in sending the food on its way.
Six sauces included as well which is much appreciated.
I thought it was a take out only place but going in today there are about 10 tables set up and it looks perfectly OK for a dine in meal albeit somewhat informal.

Sunday… The day before we have to go back to being a slave to the man or whatever quip you want to use. I had a hankering for some Indian food so hey let’s try a new place. Indian xpress. Interesting name. The gentleman who took my call for delivery was pleasant and even tried to up sell me on an app which I thought was great. I ended up getting the chicken nan and the lamb tika misala the order came about 45 min after ordering which was fine the food was packaged really nicely although I wish I got more rice with my lamb. The lamb is amazing great flavor! The ban on the other hand has a weird taste to it I expected to taste the chicken tika in the nan but the flavor wasn’t there. I loved the sauces included and I have to emphasize the care to with the food was packaged was great and so was the value of the food 28 bucks. Not too expensive not to cheap but you get what you pay for. I will definitely get down with the xpress again !!!

Good place. Delicious food, nice service. Had a quiet family dinner. Would recommend for a nice eating out. Casual, but quaint

Paneer Tikka Masala and Garlic nan combination is fantastic and also one of my favorites
— Love the samosas and tamarind chutney.
— Great Service!!!
Definitely come back in the future!

We have ordered here twice and the food was great. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken makhani both times and they were great (chicken was very tender and well marinaded). There was enough for left overs a day or two later and it was still very good. They always get the order right and they always give you a complementary pudding dessert and salad. If you’re looking for some good Indian food for delivery, this is the place.

A small room with big flavors. In business only6 weeks they are doing a robust take out business. A clean, nicely decorated room you will be blown away by the fresh and delicious dishes. We had shrimp in coconut sauce and chicken beryani both equally good. I highly recommend this fine Indian restaurant.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my family. The service was great. T he food was extremely tasty. Serving size was more than enough. Will definitely revisit.

They took over Sahara X-​press, on line they posted their address to be different from Sahara so when I called Sahara to make sure they’re still in business they picked up the phone saying ’ Indian x-​press’. I asked if they took over Sahara they said, ‘no this is Sahara xpress’ I thought maybe I misheard them answering the phone and drove over there to get some food. When I get there sure enough it was Indian after asking the owner why he couldn’t tell me that on the phone he continued to argue that they are still Sahara so I was like, ‘oh then you can make me a gyro. He was like, ‘no it’s Indian food’. No sh*. Just the indecency rlly annoyed me. Why lie?!? Too bad, I like Indian food but because of the owner and his dishonesty I def won’t be giving them a try.

I am usually not a big fan of Indian food to be honest, but this place is fantastic .The sauces, the Masala tea and the samosas are delicious! We also had the rice pudding dessert and ordered the ChickenTikka Masala another time and it was out of this world. Best Indian place I’ve had on the Island by far.
